Maybe Springleaf drum would be a better option in case your cantrip starts to lose steam and you end up with several Blistercoil weirds in hand....In which case the Crimson wisps would be even more useful...

lol.. yeah Rakasha I had already seen it :) I've started building one of my own but I really want to get Jeskai Ascendancy and some mana dorks involved! Will be epic

How about 1-2 [(Dig Through Time])? Your Graveyard always is big and it will be easier to find your combo's pieces.

Wow! Great deck!But only point i struggle at is.. why do you run Manamorphose and Faithless Looting ? As Manamorphose requires you to tap a land and Faithless Looting does not increase the number of cards in your hand. Why don't you just run more 1CMC draws?
February 10, 2015 12:48 a.m.
Faithless looting turns extra lands/blistercoils in cards, as if you draw a land otherwise....you can't do anything with it
mana morphose is a deceptive card, playing actually nets you 3 mana (2 + blistercoil) and draws a card, and that means it'll be easier/less risky to cast grapeshot
I would ask why not try out adding a jeski asccendancy? You can tap blistercoil twice per spell that way
February 10, 2015 6:32 a.m.
Jeskai Ascendancy wouldnt help, i guess. Because when you play a spell, you untap Blistercoil Weird because of his ability AND because of Jeskai Ascendancy at the exact same time which is when the spell resolves.
Jeskai Ascendancy however, would be useful for making Blistercoil Weird big faster but on the other hand, it would slow the deck down by a mile. Even if you have enough lands, a Blistercoil Weird and a Paradise Mantle in your opening hand, you cant play Jeskai Ascendancy until turn 3.
Also, if you want to cast Jeskai Ascendancy you will need both it and Manamorphose in your hand. If i were to add any cards to the deck i would recommend more copies of Grapeshot

Blistercoil Weird and Jeskai Ascendancy abilities trigger, you put them on the stack in the order you wish and then they resolve.When the first ability resolves you can tap the creature again for mana and the resolve the second ability. ;)

Consider running the fetch/shock lands to reduce future land draws.

Would Expedite be a considerable addition to this deck? it's a 1CMC cantrip but giving the weird haste may give you a backup plan by letting you swing as well

+Dannyrevv, Expedite is a functional reprint of Crimson Wisps witch is in the mabeyboard. Yes, it could be very relevant, but this version has opted out of using it.

How do you feel about a playset of Magmatic Insight if you draw too many lands?
January 29, 2016 10:34 a.m.
I personally would Add in a play set of Slip Through Space to get around their small chump blockers or possibly Niveous Wisps to tap their stuff for free attacks.

What about adding cryptolith rites to this deck? It does practically the same as paradise mantle in this case right?
June 4, 2016 9:03 a.m.
Technicaly you could, but you don't need anymore dead cards int he deck. Also, the 1 colorless is easier to generate than 1G + 1 Colorless.

Isn't Springleaf Drum a strictly better Paradise Mantle
July 13, 2016 7:44 p.m.
euananddalesaccount says... #21
no, Springleaf Drum can only activate once per turn, whereas Paradise Mantle can activate, theoretically, infinite times per turn.

honestly, I'd replace Manamorphose with something else, like one of the suggested Crimson Wisps, Expedite or Niveous Wisps. Just because Manamorphose is 2 mana, the other three are 1 mana

I played a similar deck and found the following cards helped: Slip Through Space, Crimson Wisps, Expedite. I also reccomend running some creature other then 4x weird. I used 4x Zephyr Scribe. Alternatively play 4x Serum Powder. You need to find your creatures somehow.

Please don't posed this trash. Everyone knows jeskai ascendancy is better

Wow, crazy ass deck man, +1. So do you mulligan till you get the Mantle and Weird?
carysh says... #1
take out the Manamorphose s because they cost 2 mana, which you most likely won't have. Replace with Crimson Wisps . Take out Grapeshot because you need 2 mana including 1 red which you will not have unless you have weird+mantle in which case you could just cantrip til you have 20/20. Reeplace with Shadow Rift . Maybe even swap out Faithless Looting with Peek .
